Jaclyn Chow.
Argh!! I met Jaclyn last evening just before I started work! I was walking towards CE when I saw this two ladies in a PT/OT uniform at the vending machine, and I was just wondering that the uniform looks like those that they wear in CGH. And I just happened to look up and realized one of them was Jaclyn, my close friend in secondary school. We were quite close then but not so close to actually keep in touch every week after graduation. After 2004, we went seperate ways. In early 2008, we got back in touch by just chatting in MSN like twice or thrice. And now, March '09 we finally met! 5 years! Oh my God.
When she saw me, the look of surprise and shock was evident on her face. We hugged. Hahah. I got so excited to see her. She's been on attachment at KKH for already 3 weeks now. And her department is just next to mine. We were so close and yet we didn't know it. So still in a state of shock words like "Oh my God!" and "I miss you!" and "Oh my God!"(again) and "It's been SO long!" got into our short conversation. Hahaha. Got each other's numbers, which were still the same since 5 years ago. We still had each other's numbers after all these years. And we've now set a date to meet up for high tea.
Gosh! I miss her a lot! We love books and she used to borrow my Julie Garwood books because we love her. And we'd love it so much that we call each other Lady Nadiah and Lady Jaclyn and we'd plan to go horseback riding. We were in concert band together and we used to hate the many band practices but now are sorely missed. We studied at the Airport and after that would go sight-seeing for cute guys. Once we tailed two guys all the way to the Boarding Gate. Hahah. Unseen, of course. We'd go Orchard and take Neoprints. There were also quite a handful of times when she'd invite me to her house after school just to watch DVD or do homework or play with her hamsters or learn how to put on makeup for our prom/grad night or play badminton under the block with her younger sister and her maid or help her with the scrapbook she made for this guy she used to have a huge crush on for his birthday. Anyway, we were close enough that I her maid and her sister knew me and one Hari Raya they mailed a personalised greetings card to me. I still have it, safely kept in a box in the drawer next to my bed. Oh! And I remember the time during our O-levels planning to go to JC, especially ACJC. So in case we couldn't make it with our O-level results, we thought we could get in by the CCA way, Concert Band. So they had tryouts and we went. Well, she went and I accompanied her. I didn't want to play in the band anymore actually. But while accompanying her, I got dragged in. The band members kinda persuaded me to play. So.. forced to la. But in the end, forget it.
Anyway, in the utmost end, she went into JC while I went to poly. And now we're both in the healthcare industry.
I miss her I miss her! I can't wait to meet up with her!
In my own world,
